A Supposed Fireman Found Wandering
Naked on . Mountain.
NEW York, Jan. GA special to the
World from Wolf Creek, Tenn, says:
George Caldwell, while bear hunting Q
few days ago on Balsam Mountain, one Of
the highest mountains in North Carolina,
discovered man almost naked wandering
aimlessly around in the snow, which was
nearly two feet deep, and eight miles from
the nearest habitation. On seeing Cald-
we'll he started to run, but was easily
overtaken and captured. His clothing
was found to consist Of flannel under.
shirt, which was torn into shreds,
and one shoe. His feet were frostbitten
and legs fearfully scratched by briars.
He is q veritable living skeleton. All ef-
forts to get him to tell his name or give an
intelligent account of himself have so far
failed. When spoken to he becomes vio-
lent, tries to get away and talks delirious-
ly about being Q fireman on an engine in
Charleston when the big shake came. 1t
is with difficulty he can be made to take
nourishment. 1t is supposed he was crazed
by the earthquake shock Of August 81, and
wandered to the mountains, but how he
has lived this long is mystery. Caldwell
will take steps to restore him to his
friends,

hsrshly again as they did last season, and
is of the opinion that orders will be issued

partly led to hold this belief by the decided
front presented by Congress, which he
considers will have the effect Of showing
Canada that the United States do not in

No Business Done on New York'o
Great wharfs.
All Ocean Travel Is to be stoppea BY the
Strikers.

NEW YoRK, Jan. 2s.-Business on Vie
river front this morning 10 almost COM
pletely ct q standstill, and, with the excep-
tion Of . small amount Of freight being
moved by green hands ON one or two piers,
little work has been done on the docks Of
the principal steamship companies since
the strike Of the longshoremen commenced.
The strikers are confident that they will
succeed and gain their demands. Their
next move will be to get the pilots on the
ocean steamer service to come out. The
pilots are organized, and should the order
20 out for them to quit work, the strikers
hope to stop all transatlantic steamers
from sailing in or out Of port. This, the
union men claim, will compel the steam
ship companies TO come to terms. At the
National Line dock this morning sixty
men, who were picked up from various
sources, were laid Of as they were incom-
petent. The "Wyoming" was being un-
loaded by non-union men and the sailors
Of the vessel. The latter are paid thirty
cents per hour in addition to their pay -
seamen. The green hands were imme-
diately taken in charge by members Of the
'Longshoremen's Union and were organ
lied and became part Of the strikers union.

SHOOTS FIVE MnHa
Great Things Predicted Of the Final TT
nj the Atlanta.


Of the Atlanta.
New YoRK, Jan. "a. - When the steel
cruiser Atlanta goes out on the third and
final trial trip, the last Of next week, II will
assume for the first time the dignity Of Q
fully equipped man-of-war. The guns will
be placed in position this week. Among
the guns which belong to the equipment
are two Of twenty four feet in length with
an eight-inch bore. II costs the Govern
ment $50 to fire one Of these guns, owing
partly to the fact that . very expensive
powder, which can be obtained only in
Germany, 10 used. The projectiles for
these guns are also obtained from Ger
many. They weigh 800 pounds, 90 at the
rate Of 1000 feet per second and explode
on striking. These two big guns shoot 90
curstely . distance of 1--WE miles. The
guns are all made ct the ordnance depart
ment Of the Washington navy yard, and
were tested at the Annapolis proving
grounds. In order to satisfy the demands
Of the Government the Atlanta must show
an average speed Of sixteen knots for six
consecutive hours and $500 horse power.
On the last trip seventeen knots an hour
were made for the required time, but only
2,S00 horse power could be shown. Since
then several alterations in the machinery
have been made.

THE FISH CRISIS
Some Of the Comments Made by
the Canadian Press.
Contemptuous Illusions to United states
senators-Tho Feeling In New England

TORONTO, Jan. 26.-Referring to the
Washington fisheries legislation, the Globs
Of to-day says; 1.-THE United States Senate,
since it became q caucus of plutocrsts. has
displayed little statesmanship, and its de-
cadence in the general esteem will be fur.
thered by its 'retaliatery' fisheries bill.
When no regular evidence was before
them, and with none in rcbuttal Of the
statements Of the angry fisherman, the
Senators In the United States have
brought Canada up for trial, pronounced
her guilty and put Q weapon for her
The use Of that weapon will
injure American trade at least as much as
Canadian. It does not lessen the con-
tempt due to the Senatorial legislators.
Their game, in its diplomatic aspect, is the
old one Of alarming Great Britain into
bull-dozing Canada" The Mail says: "A
retaliatory measure has been passed by
the United States, and IS result poor
Canada is to suffer all the frown Of the
Republic If she persists in forcing her
treaty rights. The Canadian authorities
simply required fishermen to obey the Gus
toms laws, and as all American vessels fro.
quenting Canadian ports are obliged to obey
and to report on entrance and to clear reg
ularly upon departure. Only two seizures
were made for the violation by Americans
Of the treaty by purchasing bait. The
Canadian Government has not in single
instance refused any fair rights Of hospi-
tality, having allowed ell reasonable fscil-
tiles for shelter, repairs, obtaining wood
and water, getting medical advice and
reasonable supplies for the sustenance Of
life when vessels have run out Of these,
and for this Eastern fishermen want the
American people to refuse to purchase
from or sell to Canada"
New York, Jan. GA Boston special
says that the fish dealers Of New England
are delighted with the passage Of the Ed
munds resolution. They say that II the
Canadians are shut out it will bring them
to their senses and force the Canadian
Government to take OF the restrictions on
American vessels. Mayor O'Brien said:
1.-THE conduct Of the Canadian author
tiles has been inhuman and brutal. We
gain nothing from Canadians in equiv
alent for what We give them. The bal
ance Of trade is always in their favor,
and I am glad that Congress has
walked up and adopted the policy Of
retaliation. l think that tho provis-
ions Of the bill are eminently just and
right" Leopold Morse said: Congress
has just got sick of this sort Of thing, and
is going to show that what is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander, and If
Canada wants to enjoy commercial rela-
tions with US, she has got to behave her.
self. There have been 30 many COM
plants and transgressions and 30 much
trouble that it was about time to CRY
halt, and the action of our Representa-
tives shows that matters have come to q
crisis"
AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. 26.-The House yes
terday adopted resolutions favoring the re-
taliatory legislation proposed in Congress
by the Government against Canada.

A MONSTER STRIKE.

Fifty Thousand Men Go Out 1t New York.
New YoRK, Jan. N.-Twenty thousand
men are now on strike among the coal
shovelers, ngshoremen, freight handlers
and men employed on the river front in
almost every capacity, and the number 10
augmented to close on to fifty thousand
by the strikers on the Brooklyn and Jer-
sey shore. In consequence 1t is almost
impossible for any Of the steamers for
Europe or coastwise to leave port. It
is thought that the pilots will be drawn
into the struggle. Their interests are
with the workmen's, and it is alleged that
out Of sympathy If for no other reason
they will refuse to take out the ships. One
Of the ideas Of the leaders is to level up,
and another is, and it is the principal one,
to attract the attention Of the business
community and force it to take some cog
nizance Of the strike.
